    This study found lower diastolic blood pressure in Madrid teenagers (15-18 yrs) than previously reported. Hypertension prevalence was 3%, higher in males, suggesting mandatory blood pressure screening for adolescents.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric cardiology
    • Adolescent health
    • Public health surveillance

    Context:

    • Adolescent blood pressure norms require updated data.
    • Previous studies may not reflect current population health trends.
    • Hypertension prevalence in teenagers is a growing concern.

    Purpose:

    • To establish current blood pressure percentiles for Madrid adolescents aged 15-18.
    • To determine the prevalence of hypertension in this specific age group.
    • To assess sex-based differences in blood pressure and hypertension rates.

    Summary:

    • A study of 932 adolescents (15-18 years) in Madrid revealed lower diastolic blood pressure than literature values.
    • Hypertension prevalence was 3%, with males (4.67%) affected more than females (1.61%).
